Had a great time filming for the NSW Mental Health Commission's Peer Work Hub today.
Loved talking all things peer work, but didn't think a tele prompt could be such a challenge!

Thanks Catherine and hi back to you and Amber from all the animals in Team B!
We need to ask people 'whats happened to you' rather than pathologising language such as 'whats wrong with you'.

After many years of discussion and meetings, the state-based consumer peak organisations have today announced the formation of the National Consumer Peak Alliance. Its a historical moment for our consumer movement in being heard at a national level. @BeingMHW

Full house for first @SPCollaborative workshop on how effective psychotherapy for people with #suicidality is so much more than a risk assessment.
What a brilliant idea @IndigoDaya :)
I want to host a December Letters Project in Melbourne (see link).
Writing cards to those trapped in the 60+ psych wards in Victoria over the Christmas period.
It’s a beautiful idea. Who will join me? We’ll find a big cafe & spend an arvo creating hope.
